Pet Supplies "Plus" stores are located in convenient high-traffic sites with lots of easy parking. Their goal is to make their stores as comfortable and accessible as possible for their customers and their pets. That’s one reason why they limit the size of our stores to 5,000 to 6,000 square feet in smaller markets and 7,000 to 9,000 square feet in larger metropolitan areas. They believe that pets and their owners prefer to shop at smaller stores rather than "big box" locations.
